I think the main question is, can a package be useful on other
architectures. In which case we should probably keep it.
I used rocalution as an example since, as of right now, it is CPU-only.
Related: I would have expected rocminfo to be useful without kfd, or
more generally: on a host without a GPU, but when running it on such a
system, I get:
ROCk module is NOT loaded, possibly no GPU devices
A `modprobe amdgpu` resolves this and it lists the CPU node. So I guess
rocminfo indeed can only on amd64/arm64/ppc64el.
Best,
Christian
